Today was another calm day, but we are hopeful that all the rest Bob has been getting will lead to progress in the near future. Bob seems to be trying to open his eyes. Up until this point he has been so heavily sedated that movements that have occurred were most likely involuntary. His sedation has been decreased a bit more, but it did have to be bumped up for the evening. Bob's energy reserve is extremely low so every movement takes a lot out of him.
Tomorrow Bob may be having a few procedures done. He will be getting a tracheotomy and a PEG tube. This means that the vent and feeding tube that have been going down his mouth/throat will be removed. Now the trach will be Bob's source of oxygen and the PEG tube will be for feeding. It should be more comfortable for Bob and easier to get him off the oxygen when the time is right.
Bob is still very fragile and in critical condition, so please keep your prayers coming.
Happy Easter from the entire Morden Family!
